A boil water advisory for the Village of Cankton for all customers has been rescinded.  May 12, 2022.  Periodic boil advisories may happen throughout 2022 due to water infastructure upgrades happening in the area.

HISTORY

The Village of Cankton is located on the southern border of St Landry parish in southwest Louisiana. The small community lies along Highway 93 and is a short distance from both Opelousas and Lafayette, Louisiana.

Cankton’s name originated from Dr. Louis Aristide “Cank” Guidry.  As a boy, Guidry would signal his family that he was home from a hunt by using the duck call which sounded like “Cank, cank, cank.” His family would say, "Cank est revenue.” (Cank is back) and his name stuck.
